\n7th June 2014: Crinkle Cut & Russell Curtis Project @ Rockafellas<\/a>.<\/p>\n


\nDown at Rockafellas, Intan Square, near Armada Hotel, opposite Asia Jaya LRT station.<\/p>\n


\nMelissa on guitar!<\/p>\n


\nAshley on cajon!<\/p>\n


\nGrace on keys!<\/p>\n


\nFrances on vocals and emo, emo stares. *sohot*<\/p>\n


\nRed Ash hair, I see what I did there.<\/p>\n


\nPart of the crowd, with a radio deejay whose name and station I do not remember.<\/p>\n


\nThen came a dude with cool shoes.<\/p>\n


\nAccompanying him was Tok Khon, a fonky keyboardist known for playing in John Thomas & Phunk Mob. Yes, it’s so funky it’s spelled fonky.<\/p>\n


\nSteve Nanda on drums.<\/p>\n


\nAnd, of course, the charming Russell Curtis on guitar and vocals, who also owns the place.<\/p>\n

This band was Russell Curtis Project<\/b>.<\/p>\n

I mistakenly assumed, for some reason, that they were going to play together on the same stage at the same time – and thinking about it while at an earlier gig made me realize the urgency and head over to this gig. Oh silly me!<\/p>\n


\nAudrey then hijacked my camera and took this picture.<\/p>\n


\nMelissa then hijacked my camera and took this picture, I think.<\/p>\n


\nI then switched to the 24mm for wide shots like these.<\/p>\n


\nAudrey and Frances with Steve (who I think looks like what Darren Ashley might look like when he’s a bit older.)<\/p>\n


\nCrinkle Cut, plus 2.<\/p>\n


\nIron (Nail) Man.<\/p>\n


\nAlmost Crinkle Cut. Melissa was missing from this picture since she was behind the camera.<\/p>\n


\nI then pointed out the selfie-friendly swivelling LCD of my Sony Alpha 99 and she did her classic overhead selfie.<\/p>\n


\nOne more, with the rest of us in focus!<\/p>\n


\nCrinkle Cut and the Potatoes. If they were sweet, they’d be farn shie fansee<\/i>!<\/p>\n


\nAnd now, for a random throwback, with a picture I’ve not posted before, nearly 8 years ago – 15th June 2006, Laundry Bar, The Curve, where Curtis Blues Review (not to be confused with later Russell Curtis bands) played at Project Bazooka Band Night<\/a> (then described as 3rd place winner for Blast Off, a battle-of-the-bands competition organized by hitz.TV.) But I remember this band best, for when they played at the Sunway College prom and there was a massive congo dance line thanks to their awesome blues\/funk\/rock-and-roll set.<\/p>\n

This area, the original stage, is now a seating area, with a small stairway heading up to where the audience is in this picture.<\/p>\n

The bassist, Zaim, did not appear to have his bass tone<\/i> just yet.<\/p>\n


\nThis throwback is of Tok Khon, in John Thomas & Phunk Mob, 5th August 2006, with his keytar, at the Sunrise Mont Kiara Jazz & Rhythm Fest 2006<\/a>. Those were the days when the yearly jazz fest was held at Sunrise Mont Kiara – now shifted to the Publika Jazz Festival, also a Sunrise development. This picture was taken with Yin’s camera – the Panasonic DMC-FZ20, with a constant F2.8 zoom, making it the hottest camera back in its time for its ambitious lens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
